Another Guinness world record for clapping hands ?

"...Well, if you're happy and you know it
clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it
clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it
Then you really ought to show it

If you're happy and you know it
clap your hands...."


Well, some people can really clap their hand. Not just any ordinary clap, but clap that produces sounds of thunder......

Amazing !!!! Zhang Quan, a 70 years old senior citizen of Chongqing City, China, has the extra ordinary ability of clapping hands that produce deafening sound measuring 107 decibels - as loud as the roaring noises generated by a helicopter. Technically, if he clapped his hands to ofen, he could face arrest for noise pollution by the environment protection bureau. He hope to enter into Guinness World's record.

On a serious note, daily ritual of clapping hands for s short duration is good for health. It improve the blood circulations and relief stress and tension ! Try it.

Yes...it is strange that some people can clap so much louder than the vast majority of the population. My lovely wife Sara is one such person. She can clap her hands so loudly that it sounds like gunshots. It is really impressive! Her hands are only about the same size as mine, but her clap is twice as loud!! Can anyone explain this "science of clapping"
